1.1 Principles
This operating manual is supplied as an integral part of the type series and variants
indicated on the front cover. The manual describes the proper and safe use of this
equipment in all phases of operation.
The name plate indicates the type series and size, the main operating data, the order
number and the order item number. The order number and order item number
uniquely identify the pump (set) and serve as identification for all further business
processes.
In the event of damage, immediately contact your nearest KSB service centre to
maintain the right to claim under warranty.

2 Safety
Only pumps/pump sets marked as explosion-proof and identified as such in the data
sheet may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Special conditions apply to the operation of explosion-proof pump sets to EU
Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX).
The explosion-proof status of the pump set is only assured if the pump set is used in
accordance with its intended use.
Never operate the pump set outside the limits stated in the data sheet and on the
name plate.

Example of such marking: II 2 G c TX
Refer to the Temperature Limits table for the temperatures permitted for the
individual pump variants. (⇨ Section 2.10.2 Page 11)
Shaft coupling An EC manufacturer's declaration is required for the shaft coupling; the shaft
coupling must be marked accordingly.
Motor The motor must be considered separately.
2.10.3 Repair
Special regulations apply to repair work on explosion-proof pumps. Modifications or
alterations of the pump set can affect explosion protection and are only permitted
after consultation with the manufacturer.
Repair work at the flameproof joints must only be performed in accordance with the

▷ Excessive leakage: Re-tighten the gland follower until the required leakage rate
is reached.
▷ No leakage: Switch off the pump set immediately.
Adjusting the leakage
Prior to commissioning 1. Only lightly tighten the nuts of the gland follower by hand.
2. Use a feeler gauge to verify that the gland follower is mounted centred and at
a right angle to the shaft.
⇨ The gland must leak after the pump has been primed.
After five minutes of
operation
WARNING
Unprotected rotating parts
Risk of personal injury!
▷ Do not touch rotating parts.
▷ When the pump is running, perform any work with utmost caution.

Damage to the motor!
▷ In case of explosion-proof motors, observe the frequency of starts specified in
the manufacturer's product literature.
CAUTION
Re-starting while motor is still running down
Damage to the pump (set)!
▷ Do not re-start the pump set before the pump rotor has come to a standstill.
The frequency of starts is usually determined by the maximum temperature increase
of the motor. This largely depends on the power reserves of the motor in steady-
state operation and on the starting conditions (DOL, star-delta, moments of inertia,
etc).
Observe the motor manufacturer's operating instructions.
CAUTION
Fluid temperature too high or too low
Damage to the pump!
▷ Never operate the pump set against a closed shut-off element.
▷ Never operate the pump at temperatures above or below those specified in the
data sheet or on the name plate unless the written consent of the manufacturer
has been obtained.
If the values are not indicated in the data sheet, the following temperature limits
apply. The temperatures must neither be below nor above these limits.
Table 13: Temperature limits of the fluid handled
Minimum fluid temperature 0 °C
Maximum fluid temperature + 80 °C
CAUTION
Abrasive particles or solids in the fluid
Damage to the pump!
▷ Comply with the limits indicated in the data sheet.
▷ Flush the piping prior to commissioning.
▷ Install a filter in the system, if required.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible solids content specified in the data sheet.
When the pump handles fluids containing abrasive substances, increased wear of the
hydraulic system and shaft seal are to be expected. In this case, reduce the commonly
recommended inspection intervals.

Components heated up for installation
Risk of burns to hands!
▷ Wear protective gloves suitable for installation work.
▷ Let components cool down after installation.
CAUTION
Improper reassembly
Damage to the pump!
▷ Reassemble the pump (set) in accordance with the general rules of sound
engineering practice.
▷ Use original spare parts only.
Always observe the safety instructions and information. (⇨ Section 2.8 Page 10)
For any work on the motor, observe the instructions of the relevant motor
manufacturer.
For dismantling and reassembly, refer to the general assembly drawing.
In the event of damage, you can always contact our service department.

Sequence Always reassemble the pump in accordance with the corresponding general assembly
drawing and installation instructions.
O-rings/V-rings ▪ Never use O-rings that have been made by cutting an O-ring cord to size and
gluing the ends together.
▪ Replace all O-rings and V-rings and clean their seats on the shaft. Place all sealing
elements into their seats in the relevant components before assembling the
components.
Tension spring ▪ Remove the tension spring (2) of shaft seal ring 421.02.

NOTE
Looking onto the shaft from the drive end
Suction nozzle left = direction of rotation left (anti-clockwise)
Suction nozzle right = direction of rotation right (clockwise)
Watch the vane position of the impeller!
4. Fit the wear rings on the running surfaces of the impeller. Make sure that the
chamfered side of the rings is facing outwards (facing the bearing). Fit the studs
required to hold the wear rings in position.
5. Slide shaft protecting sleeves 524.01 onto pump shaft 211. Make sure that the
key of the impeller is engaged in the keyway provided.
NOTE
Only remove the protective wrapping of the contact faces immediately before
assembly takes place.
CAUTION
Incorrect position of the mechanical seal
Hot fluid or steam may spurt out during operation!
▷ Make sure the mechanical seal is seated properly.
4. Slide shaft protecting sleeve 524.01 with the shaft seal ring onto the shaft.
5. Insert the mating ring with the corresponding O-ring into the seal cover (see
general assembly drawing). A lubricant can be applied to the O-ring. Press it in
evenly. Make sure the contact faces are dry.
6. Fit seal cover 471 with the mating ring.

3. Slide the complete rotating assembly onto the shaft protecting sleeve. Observe
the installation dimension given in the installation drawing of the mechanical
seal or slide it further until it abuts against the spacer sleeve. Then tighten the
grub screws firmly and secure them with LOCTITE.
4. Insert the mating ring with the corresponding O-ring into the seal cover (see
general assembly drawing). A lubricant can be applied to the O-ring. Press it in
evenly. Make sure the contact faces are dry.
5. Fit seal cover 471 with the mating ring.

4. Load the rotor parts elastically by means of slotted round nut 920 and disc
spring 950. For this purpose, compress disc spring 950 to blocking point and
then undo slotted round nut 920 again by half a turn (180°).
5. Position shaft seal housing 441 with the anti-vortex vanes pointing vertically
upwards. For shaft unit DW 9017) position shaft seal housing 441 with the anti-
vortex vanes at an angle of 45° off the horizontal, leading upwards as an
extension of the suction nozzle.
